§ Electoral Code art. 99Solving conflicts of jurisdiction

Solving conflicts of jurisdiction
(1) If the same appeal is lodged simultaneously with more than one electoral body, it
shall be examined by the hierarchically superior electoral body to the body whose
actions/inactions and decisions are challenged, and in the case of actions/inactions of
electoral competitors, referendum participants or groups of initiatives, as well as other electoral
subjects, by the electoral body which registered, accredited or confirmed them.
(2) If it has been addressed to the electoral bodies and the court, the appeal shall be
examined by the court, unless the prior examination procedure has not been followed.
(3) In all such cases, the electoral bodies, which receive the appeals, but do not
proceed to examine their merits, shall declare them inadmissible in accordance with Article
93.
(4) In the case of appeals concerning the financing of the election campaigns of
candidates nominated by the political parties or electoral blocks and stating the requirement
to impose a penalty for the cancellation of their registration, the electoral body registering the
candidates shall proceed with the examination of this requirement only after examination of
the appeal by the Central Electoral Commission in the part of facts considered by the objector
as breaches of the financing of the election campaign, as well based on the findings and
solutions issued by the Commission as a result of the examination.
(5) If facts found to be unlawful are communicated in the appeal, but the examination
of those facts falls within the competence of more than one competent (electoral) body, the
body which received the appeal shall proceed to the examination of the appeal on the part of
its competence, while the other matters shall be referred to the authorities responsible under
Article 97 (3).
